Reconciliation or Penance (John 20:19,22-23)
• Penance is a Sacrament of Healing in which Jesus Christ himself, through the actions of a priest, forgives the sins committed after Baptism.
• It is the way God restores his bond with us after we have broken it by committing – mortal sin; or
– damaged it by committing venial sin.

Doesn’t Baptism take away our sins?
• Though Baptism made us new and free from the blemish of sin, it has not destroyed our weakness in relation to sin nor the inclination to sin.
• God gives us the Sacrament of Penance as a spiritual healing, a way to remove sin when we fall into it. ….

Doesn’t Baptism take away our sins?
• ….
• We must struggle to be holy. By constant conversion, we become holy (perfect).
• Reconciliation is the opportunity for many more conversions. For as often as we sin, Jesus wants us to repent and return to Him once again.
